Other than vacform  ?
Ancient Contrail 1/72 Yak 28... you got both Firebar and Brewer versions in the same box, I only built the Firebar version though.

According to ScaleMates you have a number of Yak-28 Brewers and Firebar kits to choose from.  Check this link: ScaleMates > Yak-28 Brewer kit search results (https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION%5B%5D=Kits&q=YaK-28+Brewer)

The AModel Yak-28s are... well, AModel. With some effort, they build up nicely.
